Stereotype of Saxophonists is shown by TwoSet: closing eyes while swinging, bending their backs like Ray LOL
Or epic sax guy!
But it's true😂
I think sometime you couldn't help it and it come naturally. Funny thing is, this happen to me and my friend when I first introduced fret of fire(guitar hero clone on pc) to him. We use keyboard to register input and when I first play it, my friend laugh at me when I automatically shaking my hand to made it look like I was doing a silly vibration. Then guess what, when it is his turn playing, he did the same unknowingly. We laugh it out loud for that.
i think this comes naturally when [music] and [standing] are combined
Yeah but as a saxophonist, this is true
eddy: oh dude, it's massive!
editor-san: he's talking about the saxophone
@Zixi Liu you don't want to know...
“I regret my choice”
THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID.
@Zixi Liu the di-

“Why is eddy so loud?”
Dude, tenors are either really quiet, or REALLY FREAKING LOUD. I swear there is no in between
FR THO, there was only two tenors in my class and I was the really quiet one while my buddy was super loud and got all the attention
I try to be as loud as possible hehe
@@megajareth I respect that lol. I’ve heard so many directors be “I’d rather have a loud player because it’s so much easier to bring it down than make them play louder”
so true, everyone thinks the barri's loud but the tenors are so abnoxiously loud.
@@henrymaxey9783 dude actually. (I play bari) and like, I… like to follow the dynamics
I have to remind the tenor next to me when it’s piano 💀 like dude.
Now we’re talking ( ͡o ͜ʖ ͡o)
Hi Nathan!
I thought of your “Classical vs Jazz Saxophone” series when watching this!
oh hey it’s mario kart lick guy
Yes, wassup Nathan
Ooohh weren’t you the one that ran over your saxophone
Classical Saxophonist here 🙋♀️I was a little shell shocked when Emma started the video with the Glazunov Concerto teaser. Took me 4 years to learn that piece.
My whole life has been "Oh you play saxophone?! I LOVE saxophone! Jazz music is my favorite!!!!" And watching their expression turn to disappointment as I say "....Actually I play classical." 🤡
Great sax lesson, Emma. I felt seen. 🥲
Was searching the comments section far and wide to see who else noticed it was glazunov!
As a fellow sax player, I love classical music more than jazz
classical sax team here
I didn't even know there was saxophone in classical music
@@freshbeansI didn’t know either, but now I’m obsessed with it.
I think the sax has the perfect amount of difficulty for the maximum entertainment value. Its not too hard so you actually can play something but it's hard enough for you to screw it up in a glorious way.
Emma felt so bad after the last video where they messed up horrendously trying to play famous tunes on the saxophone that she decided to teach them how to play it properly without noise pollution
when editor san put "lost ships at sea" i lost it HAHAH
I find it hilarious that Eddy picked the Viola of the saxophones! 😂
Actually, it's the Cello of the saxophones. (Violin = Soprano, Viola = Alto, Cello = Tenor, Double bass = Bass.)
As an (ex) tenor sax player, I am offended not only that you called it the viola of the saxophone, but also that being very wrong.
@@reinhardjurgens6526 pretty much
@@reinhardjurgens6526 just think you mean baritone instead of bass. There is a bass saxophone but it is much less common than the baritone because baritone is part of a sax quartet
😐
i’m so glad eddy chose the tenor, i always get excited whenever i see a fellow tenor sax player and even for beginners you both did really well!!
YESS HELLO TENOR FRIEND!!
YES!!!!!!!! I’m a classical saxophonists and I’ve been waiting YEARS for this. And I love the Concertino da Camera excerpt at the end
I'VE DONE MY WAITING. 12 YEARS OF IT. Finally, as a saxophonist I really enjoyed it!
There are two types of people -
Emma : you did so good! You are secretly saxophone players
Pheobe : you're being too nice they sound terrible
They're not beginners they're just playing free jazz.
Eddy: TOOT
Brett: TOOT
Eddy: TOOT
Brett: toot
Editor-san: lost ships at sea
Me: Losing it
Emma is a wonderful teacher and they truly were amazing. Starting with a true beginners piece and scales like any student rather than throwing them immediately in the deep end was fun to watch. I really hope that they explore some brass instruments next! Having a true appreciation for the range and difficulty of different instruments only helps you grow as a musician and enjoy music more!
Yes I really want them to try and learn a brass instrument too!
I think this is probably the best instrument learning video they've done. Emma is such a good teacher!
My dad is a saxophonist and I showed him this video and then he told me I was grounded LMAOO
lol
Lol Wut bahahahah
The fact that Emma can still produce a good sound while smiling in between notes is awesome. Smiling and laughing completely ruins your emborchure
Whenever I saw eddy puff his cheeks I had to try not to laugh
Can we please have more Phoebe and Emma in the channel, they are amazing
omg she was such a good and sweet teacher, i love when people actually make an effort to teach well c:
Finally some saxophone 🎷
Amazing
You know, the best part of learning instruments is that no matter how difficult it is, if you just keep practicing, it becomes instinctive to the point where you don't have to think anymore. You just do it. This video reminds me of those times I struggled learning cello and sax.
Thanks I really needed this as a confidence booster. I've been feeling a little down about my saxophone playing, but after watching this I feel much better and motivated to play.
you got this!!! i would recommend focusing on either your technical skills (playing tricky passages, playing quickly, etc.) OR the quality of your sound at a time. work on slooowing things down & focus on nailing each note. you will naturally speed up the more you learn it
real
Emma is an awesome teacher. My dearest wife got me an alto venova (I wanted cheap casual wind instrument) for Christmas and as someone who played cello all me life and never have played reed instruments, I can totally relate to the struggles yall had in this video. Thanks for the laughs and encouragement that makes me want to keep trying and not give up. From +1 tired man to another.
don't give up!!!! try practicing with just the mouthpiece & focus on your embouchure, tonguing, etc. then work your way up. it will sound silly but it's important to learn the fundamentals before trying to actually play songs
also make sure you suck on the reed for a minute or two before assembling. the reed needs to be flexible to play nicely
As a jazz saxophonist, this is as if I’m having a classical lesson 😂
As a classical saxophonist Everything she is teaching seems to be right
SAMEEEE
@@littlenuggets6426 A bit surprise that she didn’t point out that Eddy puffing his cheek though
@@hangyuxu3411 there’s something you don’t point out in the begging because once you first start your just trying to make a noise
@@hangyuxu3411 my main thing was that it looked like eddy’s strap was a little to high 😂
Eddy already learned the most important part: it's easy to play sax and dance
can’t wait to see twosetviolin play careless whisper to their future loved ones/lh
It’ll be careless screams of agony with this lot
Eddy: "oh dude its massive"
Editor-san: "he is talking about the saxophone"
Can I just say that as someone who is a lot on youtube, I truly think twoset's editor is the best editor I've seen. Their sense of humor is so on point. Even tho only Eddy and Brett are visually in the video, you feel like there are 3 main characters, and one of them breaks the 4th wall in the best way possible, and sort of reacts along with you. Also Editor-san roasting brett and Eddy is my favorite genre😂😭
OMG IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!! I play tenor saxophone, I mostly play jazz on sax but I love classical music so that's why I'm here. I'm so proud of these guys! I remember starting out half of my friends couldn't even get a note out😂 Eddy and Brett are so good for beginning. Honestly I couldn't do that much starting out.
perception: let's make beautiful sax music together
reality/ editor-san: lost ships at sea 3:23
10:30 Brett: did I just unlock *j a z z* mode?
Emma is a really great teacher! So encouraging 😍
The tired old men are relatable 😂
I didn't know l was anemic when l first started flute, l'd always get super dizzy. 'S all good now, tho, and l *freaking love* playing tenor in Jazz Band
My god...
I used to play a tenor, and then I had to quit music for a multiple reasons...
Just a couple of days ago I suddenly remembered my sax-past openly, and this realisation was the hardest, though the most joyfull thing.
Just now TwoSet reminded me, how unbelivable it sounds and how happy I was playing it...
I f*cking need this once again! Why the hell are saxophones so expensive??
I started out on an alto sax, but then moved to a Bari sax. Those first squeaks are to be treasured in my memories.
Also, 2set tries clarinet/Bassoon?
Fellow bari?
fellow baris??
Bassoon!
my bro plays bassoon I think Brett/Eddy would just die from the weight pf the bassoon
This warms the cockles of my cold dead classical saxophonist heart.
Good one! Lol
I really like this series. Next to it being incredibly funny, the musicians teaching are so good at explaining that I actually learn a little bit about how each instrument is played!
It was so nice how she put things in strings player terms! An amazing teaching strategy- Emma also seems to have a rlly great personality too
Love the edits! 😂 Lost ships at sea, +1 tired old man
Emma seems like a great teacher, very patient and encouraging
“This is not a good start.” “If something goes wrong, it’s probably because you did something wrong.” Ouch.
A question for saxophonists with absolute pitch: since the saxophone is a transposing instrument, how do you read one note and hear a different one? I'm a pianist and it seems so strange...
After a long time you get used to it. When playing I’m thinking in instrument pitch, everywhere else in concert pitch.
I learned alto saxophone in 4th grade before any other instrument, so I hear everything in Eb. I have to transpose notes into concert pitch if i wanted to make the note name match the pitch (im working on speeding my conversion time up now that ive taken a music theory course)
Charts (like Real Books or Bird's Omnibook for example) as usually transposed into the correct keys for your horn (Bb or Eb.) If someone sticks some C concert chart in front of you, you'll have to transpose on the fly, a tone up for Bb or minor third down for Eb. Like anything, it can be achieved with enough practice time.
With enough practice, it’s the same thing as “A flat is the same fingering as G sharp” like “pressing 6 keys down on alto sax is D, which is also known as concert F”
I play both the alto saxophone and the piano and if I want to transfer a piece, what I do is remember that C on the alto is Eb on the piano, and then just transfer accordingly. I did this recently with pirates of the Caribbean lol.
I have a sudden flash back to turtles making love
Eddie's already got the tenor energy right. Give him a barry and he'll be doing Leo P stuff any day!
Have to like for the mention of Leo P!
B a r r y
it's spelled Bari, you wouldn't spell it barrytone saxophone. Barry's your neighbor, bari is your saxophone. :)
@@GUmbolyaa5112 Depends on where you're from. It's how its spelled in most of the Germanic languages, and in the original Greek.
@@ericmyrs I had no Idea, my apologies.
I love that I immediately recognized Emma's demonstration as the Glazunov piece I played for solo and ensemble last year! Sounded beautiful!
I love the editor-san had to clarify he was talking about the saxophone
2:19 we re going to roll our bottom lip over our bottom teeth
brett: *licks bottom teeth*
This was the best birthday video from Twoset! As a sax player myself, I found this to be very entertaining!
Happy birthday! 😊
@@cyrissiryc5126 Aww thank you, Cyris!
They improved so much so fast!! It's very impressive! I'm planning in forwarding this video to my band teacher from my very first year on band and asking her if I was kind of like this when learning (I learned to play it pretty well surprisingly fast). This was absolutely hilarious and kind of like a throwback to some of my earlier band memories. I learned a couple of good tips on how to improve my embouchure as well! Thank you!
If you ask me, I think Eddy would probably play tenor sax if he were to play a wind instrument. As for Brett, he seems to have oboe energy
I was thinking piccolo tbh
The soprano sax is like a loud blusey oboe. It's a good instrument to take a duo and play mediaeval dance music. However the important thing is that the two saxes should be slightly out of tune with each other (easy with the soprano)
@@harp167 triangle
JK
Who gets the garklein?
yes thoo
I'm in the hospital right now and twoset is what's accompanying me on my wait.
4:48 Bretts immediate head turn to see if he if he got it right is so sweet
I feel so sorry for band teachers who teach saxophone..
Thank you. (I teach beginners so...yeah.)
Well they learning in a hour while students have days
My beginners sound better, but we spend a lot of time on mouthpiece and neck, refining the embouchure and tone production, before we add the body of the instrument.
It still sounds a lot better than beginners at violins....
What about French horn teachers?
Brett playing the sax the first time sounds like the turtle making love
Ifykyk
They chose the two hardest saxes and left her the easy one 😂
The Bari is also pretty tough
@@phrogtime4160 I play the bari and tenor… nah. Bari is significantly easier
As a tenor sax player, I was so f**king excited for this episode
I do play The violín and saxophone (alto and tenor) these guys nailed it! I had Zero faith in Eddy!
I started learning saxophone THIS WEEK it's so funny how this video came out at the right timing...man it feels good to know im not the only one suffering
If you're suffering while playing, you should probably not blow as hard, don't puff out your cheeks, and don't crush the eumbashere
brett: so the tongue touches the tip...i mean the reed
THIS IS A PG CHANNEL
"it is massive!" Because it's a sax class! 😏
@@namenamenamenamenamename1213 ngl when i saw the thumbnail i knew this is gonna be chaotic
Welcome to sax-ed.
@@kokkirosorry I didn't see your notification but I got better pfp's than what you expect
It’s actually a bit heartening today see twoset struggle so much. They’re such good musicians and usually pick other instruments up relatively quickly, this just makes them seem a bit more “normal” lol
As an 8th grader who has played saxophone for almost three years, I got to say this was hell to watch and I’m no professional I just do it as a hobby😂😂😂
twoset: makes another how to instrument video
editor san: ok time to roast
"That was really good :) I mean, you look like you're gonna die but-"
Oh dear... my saxophone nerd side is emerging already and the video has bearly started. You guys are awesome :)
I have played alto sax since the 5th grade and didn’t know about the altissimo register!!
Eddy: **chooses tenor**
Me: **looks across room at my tenor**
**happy saxophonist noises**
FINALLY I’VE WAITED FOREVER (I’m this excited because I play alto sax)
Same
Sax gang!
Same 😁
Me too
same! :)
6:39
Brett : it's like kissing someone
Eddy : 🧏
The girl :😶
I was crying from laughter. Overall not too bad for a day's worth of learning. The breathing technique is hard to master (I don't think I can ever do the flute bc of that), I did decently in woodwinds most likely due to being a mouth breather. XD
Emma reminds me of my mother, not only because my mom played sax in marching band, but because they’re both sweet and kind.😊
4:09 AND WHO SAID MARCHING BAND ISNT A SPORT >:3
We need to see Brett and Eddy try the bass and baritone saxes, that would be a sight to behold
1:34
" Oh dude, it's massive"
That's what she said
Or in this case, he said
Emma is my favourite so far! Such grace and skill!
It’s 80% reed adjustment, 10% ligature adjustment, 9% cleaning, 1% playing
TENOR GANG
09:30 they are laughing about him but obviously he is the only one doing the correct and legit saxophone movement while playing
She's so nice!!! I couldn't stop laughing, and even more with Phoebe's entry 🤣
Love you TwoSet ❤
When editor san wrote lost ships at sea i died lmao (3:20)
brett knew exactly what was going to happen when he said the tounge touches the tip.
I play tenor, and as a short person it goes down way past my hips, and then I just see Eddy holding it like an alto-
"Good job! You look like you're gonna die but good job" lmao Emma
The sheer number of innuendos in this one video 😂
I mean, the whole video is nothing but sax...
Literally every band practice ever...
Great video😄💕...I learned to play alto sax in elementary school and I thought it was so fun! Then I switched to tenor sax in high school and fell in love with it.
FYI...I once had to blow into a spirometer (a breath strength test) in the hospital after my surgery...the nurse was shocked! She said she never saw anyone be able to blow the disc clear to the top!😲...🎉Go wind instruments!🎉😄
5:51 "ₕₑₕₑₕₑ"
The way editor-san had to specify that eddy was talking about the saxophone💀
brett: the tongue thouches the tip - is the big oops
I love how Emma plays the sax. Literally, since I met her channel I have become more interested in the classical music of the saxophone.
This took me back to the band room during middle school. I could see it, smell it, hear it. Most of all, hear it. Kudos to all beginning band teachers for enduring these dying geese sounds for months and years on end.
Editor san: “lost ships at sea” that’s exactly what I was thinking!!!! Had me laughing so hard! 😂😂😂
As a saxophone as my secondary instrument (bassoon as my primary) Eddy's facial expressions playing tenor were absolutely amazing
On the intro I was wearing headphone and full volume and my ear almost start bleeding
Hahahahaha same😂😂😂
"Lost ships at sea" was the moment where I lost my shit 😂😂😂😂😂
What about learning classical guitar?
Yaasss!!
this!!!
That would be cool
I already foresee some jokes about attracting womenXD
They've never had a guitarist friend in their past videos though, and they only seem to be learning from close friends.
8:50 eddy sounds like hes being forced to play while crying
I have been waiting for this series to start for so long
it's hilarious how eddy is just dancing throughout most of the video
I want a "busking" video with Eddy playing sax.... The reactions will be priceless.
Good idea
3:13
Two Set missed a chance to sneak Brett's Lofi there
You both did so well! And Emma is a fantastic teacher (and a lovely person)
Eddy's tone was (occasionally) really nice, although his neck strap was a little too high. Mouthpiece was trying to go up his nose. A fun video though. Took me back to my early days playing alto and tenor.
